ADVICE: Renly Baratheon Armor (Game of Thrones)

[jimmyc]

HELP!

I have been working on some Renly Baratheon armor for a few months now off and on for a friend. And I am at a point where I don't know what to do, and I thought this would be a good place to come for some advice. The armor is coming together really well, but the detailing around the edges I'm kind of at a loss. Any Ideas on how to do that?

So far I've thought about doing it with tape or paper and painting over it. but I don't want to spend a million years working with a razor.

The whole thing is made with Worbla.



Thanks!

have you ever worked with solder? I dont know if that would even come close to working...

Not sure how solder would react with the Worbla, that stuff has a pretty low melting point.

I think you're going to have to apply something to the armour, so you've either got to emboss a thin surface and stick it over the Worbla or somehow create the filigree from card sections and stick them down... but I wouldn't envy you that job. Wonder if you could find some pre-cut card at a craft shop with a pattern that's close enough?

I guess you might be able to use a fine squeezy bottle and some PVA or something and ice the pattern onto it.

Just some thoughts.

Put Bondo or some other frosting consistency product in a cake piping bag, and decorate it like a cake. Them paint over it.
